Couple of interesting frags I have brewing in my experimental frag tank (it is experimental because I am doing some weird and wacky things with it)


original mummy eye frag



Look at the way I got this pink ****** to morph:

Beautiful! applause sir.

Its not a chalice but it is becoming big and round

Tyree Agent orange (two views of same colony)







And check out the pink in the green eyes

 

[watchguy123]

this was supposed to be a picture of chalices but my wrasse likes the camera









Chalice garden, thinking about doing some gardening--they are beginning to get in each others way.





I have had this lobo for a while, it seems happy sitting on the sand.

Took some top downs today,


A bunch of chalices but you have to look through the trees (sticks)



Other chalices, different view



A new edition I recently added;



love my vivid pink *******



best shot of my jf jackolanter, its pretty well hidden



Another through the sticks shot;





Its an LPS but not chalice, space invader pectinia

Took some pictures this morning with only t5's on (I have 3 x blue plus and 1 x purple something or maybe pink something--I don't rememberer that bulb but it glows pinkish purple)


I am in enamored with the space invader so I thought I would bore you with three different pics (if you look at the post above, you can see the space invader a few months ago shortly after I fragged it--pretty cool recovery and growth:











And of course while doing maintenance, I broke off a piece of miami hurricane chalice, here it is sitting on a tank cross brace

 

[watchguy123]

Because of all the requests (zero so far), thought I'd share some favias. These are also from this morning, so same all t5 lights today

I believe this is the tyree triton ???




Mias pot of gold, I think--don't know much about favias



No name



Tyree pastel war, I had just moved it so not too happy at the moment. No choice, have to keep up on maintenance It's just about entirely covered its rock

 

[Aqua fire/medic]

Wow.... Those are some epic colonies!

 

[Davesgt]

You have an amazing collection of stunning corals. I envy you sir!

 

[Beach Bum]

Awesome looking favias

What is that chalice on the bottom left? Sick looking!

What is that chalice on the bottom left? Sick looking!

All my chalices are oldies and most we're named pieces but I don't really remember that one. I may have an old list laying around and I'll try to figure it out

This is an updated picture from today, top down. Everything turned out pale in the picture. Sometimes I find that the camera seems to capture different levels of vibrancy on different days. I don't really understand why that is so. The corals maintain their color and vibrancy consistently just not the pictures of them.

 

[watchguy123]

I shot some t5 only shots tonite, the metal halides had already turned off. I adjusted the exposure and brightness but it looks as if I adjusted saturation which I did not. I guess it is the t5s that give the color an extra boost Pretty crazy though.

Sweet corals

What is this second chalice?

 

[watchguy123]

What is this second chalice?

Both cool chalices but I don't know what the second one is but sure wish I had it. Need to track down faviafreak.
